Colton White

Colton "Cole" White was an American outdoorsman and skilled marksman who made a name for himself in the "Wild West" during the late 19th century. In 1880, he killed the railroad magnate Tom Magruder, who was oppressing the Apache tribe in order to find the location of the legendary city of Quivira; he also fought against renegade soldiers led by Sergeant Hollister.

Early life
Colton White was the son of a white American doctor and an Apache mother, both of whom were killed when US Army troops led by Confederate States Army captain Tom Magruder massacred the Apache village during the American Civil War. Colton was raised by Ned White, a Kansas outdoorsman who taught him how to live in the great outdoors. The two of them hunted animals together and sold their carcasses and pelts to passing steamboats on the Missouri River, and they lived a peaceful life until 1880, when Ned White took Cole with him to board the Morning Star steamboat. Ned wanted to retrieve the fabled Cross of Coronado from a safe on the boat, but Reverend Josiah Reed ordered an attack on the boat by renegade troops dressed as Native Americans. Colton and Ned killed several of them, but they lost ground and were forced to flee as the boat caught fire and crashed. Ned gave Colton a token to the Alhambra brothel in Dodge City and told him to look for a prostitute named Jenny before throwing him over the side of the ship; Ned and all other passengers on the ship died when it exploded, and Colton went into a three-day sleep on the riverbank.

Journey to Dodge City
White woke up and was greeted by "Honest Tom", who offered to help him in getting to the Alhambra brothel. However, he decided to make a wager against White; White would be able to take his horse if he could beat him in hunting and shooting. White beat him in both competitions and won the horse, but Honest Tom and two fellow outlaws decided to turn on him and steal his token to the Alhambra. White killed the three of them and rode to Dodge City, riding through a canyon and taking a ferry to the city; he learned that the ferry was due to be closed down because of recent Apache attacks.

Arrival in Dodge
White arrived in Dodge City and was paid $15 for taking down George Mahonee, a wanted criminal, at the Alhambra brothel. He then presented his token to the bartender and asked for Jenny, who was called over to him. White told her that Ned, his father, was dead, as was Jenny's friend and Ned's favorite prostitute, Sadie. The conversation was cut short when the outlaw Rude Williams took Jennie hostage, angry that she was talking to Colton instead of having sex with him. Colton got into a gunfight with Rude's Gang, killing Rude and freeing Jenny. He proceeded to kill the other members of his gang before they could burn down the Alhambra, and he met with Jenny upstairs. Jenny told White that Reverend Josiah Reed had come to the brothel to look for Sadie, and she also told him that Mayor Hoodoo Brown of Empire City might be able to assist them in hunting Reed down. The two of them made love and formed a relationship, and White met sheriff Pat Denton through her. White agreed to help Denton in holding off Apache attacks on a new railroad bridge to Empire City, and he helped in the bridge's completion after killing Chief Quick Killer. White and Jenny headed off through the Badlands to Empire City, killing several Apaches along the way, and they managed to arrive safely.
